l being united by n, .siingl hwk G, es shown im 1 www? The tapering .mid porticm ai' has trough, while the portion o2 is narrow enough oonsifierebe savingv in the metal sutunilylis'efl to be suiiieientiy flexibie to permit of its being; nienipniated and bent by hand Without the necessary empioyment of special tools of any Kind.

The other member oi the honger, the roofstrap B, is e plein. rectangular piece 'with zi rirvet-hoie b punched in one end and two nailiioies 5^ punched in the other end.

' Tiieperts, are assembled and joined by e rivet c, ssshownby fui! lines in Fig. .5, and thehangers are eompiete. and marketable in this form and are so snipped to consumers. The' method of applying them to eavestro'ughs rnai the iplms to which they are 'bent b'y hond is shownby dotted lines in Fig. 5 and by the nersgective, Fig. 6. The raised hook a5 is piece@ astraddie of the inner edge ci of the trough D. The arched cross-bar a spons the trough, and the semicnrve rests upon the need d at the oiiter edge of the trough. The remaining tapering and straight ortions at o2 of the member are then bent by mind beneath and around the troughI the iree end being wlipped through the strop-hole` r1 and bent down, shown in said figures,

The inward. kink or bend as to fit the strap i fairly under the trongifoeaci may be formed previously by e. reverse curve, or it may be truck :in oy )rossore or by si iiemmenbiow t the time oi) sppiication. The other mem- 1L ber, the roof-strap B, is bent beck upon itseiic to any ongle or angles to ed apt it, :is shownI to the height from :ind slope of the roof, upon rfi-ich it is secured by nsisV driven through the holes b.

By my invention am. enebied to effect a in the construction sind more by the avoidance f formation of the parts heretofore deemed necessoryand e saving of time in the assentbiing and' uniting of the parts. ons savings in matters of material and time combined so materially reduce the. cost of sheet'strap -hangers that i om enaiiied to make and sell them in competition with Wire hangers, which while not eonsiered `as good.

as the strop-hangers have been. produced so much more enea iy than the stre `'haria-gers that they havehe d the market against them.

Having thus described my invention, what I Gleim as new and usefui, and desire to se cure by Letters Patent, is-

An eaves-trough cross-oar andioop-henger mede of a single piece and comprising a vWide portion at one endsfor the rigid cross-bar, si narrower portion ot the other end to 'provide o. fiexible part for interio ekingwitii theoross-bar and e. te erirfg rnidpo1tion of a lengt-n to :ifford su cient support to the *free edge ofthe eayestroiigh7 said end portions being of the sense length so that successive pieces, invero ed end for end, may be Strunk from o sheet at a singie operation Without waste,

In testimony whereof I herev signed my naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses. .y
